Standing Shoulder opener!

Beginning your practice with this pose will prepare the muscles of the arms, shoulders, and chest. Stand on your mat with your feet hip-width apart and your leg muscles strong and engaged, toes spread and lifted. Interlace your fingers behind you, inhale, and lift the sides of your chest so your shoulders are level with the base of your neck. Move the tops of your shoulders backward with your chin slightly lifted, and imagine your shoulder blades connecting to the back of your heart. Exhale; lengthen your arms away from your body and shine out through your heart, feeling a fullness inside. Hold for 3 to 5 breaths.

Stop slumping to stress less

BELIEVE  IT OR NOT! the way you sit can make you feel more stressed. So build in posture checks throughout the day by setting an hourly alert on your phone or computer. When you hear it ding, follow these simple steps: chin up, shoulders down, feet flat on the floor. Proper posture will naturally expand your chest so you take in more oxygen, which in turn helps calm your body’s physical and emotional response to stress

Adjust!

IT  DOESN'T  MEAN  THAT  YOU, ..........a round  peg, should try to fit into a square hole.......that's the job of a contortionist!What it does mean is that you take a good look at both the round peg (yourself )and the square hole (your impossible situation). With a bit of trimming the peg might fit quite well.Or perhaps you'll find that the hole isn't as square as you thought.

The Garden of Eden!

THE GARDEN IS A METAPHOR .........for your ideal situation.Imagine it.Paint it strongly in your mind so that each step you take will be a step towards its manifestation.You won't achieve your ideal all at once, and you may alter it along the way.Don't underestimate the power of your mind to bring about physical change.

Go Sailing!

BLOW  AWAY  YOUR  TROUBLES..............and the cobwebs!Feel the wind in your hair and on your body.Feel free.Enjoy being out in the open, facing the elements.Find the brave soul within and you'll be able to face life's trials.Courage, determination and willpower will take you a long way.

Let go of the Controls!

“You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.''

WHEN A SITUATION GETS OUT OF HAND ....................a common response is to frantically try to control it.Control feels safe.The pitfall is that the ego is involved, which means you'll assert control at someone else's expense.The ego doesn't want to see the whole picture because it's driven by fear rather than by love.Learn to relinquish control.Instead listen and seek to understand.
